I would like to thank the many parents involved in the planning of the
Spring Festival. We are looking forward to a fun-filled day on April

the upcoming year. Our fifth graders will visit their middle schools next
week and then we will hold Kindergarten registration on May 6th. Please
keep your eye on the newsletter for more information about class placement
letters for next school year.
